A series/parallel switch is used to connect two batteries in series for the combined voltage of both to crank the engine(ex- two 12V batteries in series to crank with a 24V starter) then after the engine starts,the switch connects both batteries in parallel so both can be equally charged from a 12V generator/alternator,or be equally discharged by a 12V accessory load.
I see little advantage of adding the complication of a system like this except on a very large diesel engine. The new generation John Deere tractors do very well with a correctly set up 12V system as is factory equipment on the 69 and later models,and an easy conversion on the earlier ones.
A series/parallel switch should still be avalible at a heavy truck parts place.
